With this PR, URL will be included in the translation string, so it will be easier to relocate it in the translated string.

Can you explain why this is desirable? In general, URLs shouldn't be translated, so why do we want it in the translated string?

ersen commented 3 years ago

Because in different languages, it may be translated better if translator can change the position of the URL in the translated string. For example, this string is similar to the one we have here, and I put the URL in the middle of the translated string. And this is the current situation of the string this PR is related to.

This is not about translating the URL but giving translator the ability to better structure their translated sentence. Strings similar to this one can be seen here.
